Emperor Chen cried with a sad face, "What does the prime minister mean?" This is a choice related to the future life and death of my Chen Kingdom, if I choose the wrong one, then I will become a sinner of Chen Kingdom, and I will not be able to see the ancestors of the royal family when I go to Huangquan! ”

Pei Lianfu's upright face had no trace of joy or sorrow, and he was calm and mad.

He reminded, "Your Majesty, don't forget that the right minister of Yan State sent you a letter a few days ago, in which he said that the king of Xiangbei and the king of Huainan of my Chen State were spying on the prince's mansion in Yan State and were arrested by the prince of Yan State. ”

When Emperor Chen heard this, he was more and more frightened and didn't know what to do!

He was almost crying, so he reached out and grabbed Pei Lianfu's hand and held it tightly.

He prayed to Pei Lianfu as if grasping the last straw, "Pei Xiang, you have to think of a perfect plan!" ”

Pei Lianfu looked at Emperor Chen's panicked appearance as soon as he encountered something, sighed softly, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the emperor, wait for the ministers to meet Zhang Jin, say a few words, and then decide the rest of the matter." ”

Emperor Chen nodded repeatedly, let go of him, and waved his hand, "You go, you go." ”

Pei Lianfu respectfully bowed, turned around and went to find Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin is an envoy and lives in the envoy's village.

When Pei Lianfu went, Zhang Jin was planning to enter the palace again and force Emperor Chen.

But I didn't think about it, as soon as I went out, I met Pei Lianfu who had just gotten out of the carriage.

Zhang Jin was stunned.

Pei Lianfu arched his hand at him, "Zhang Shilang." ”

Zhang Jin returned the salute, "Pei Xiang." ”

Pei Lianfu said, "Let's talk in the house." ”

Zhang Jin hurriedly invited him in.

When the two of them sat in the living room, Pei Lianfu did not beat around the bush and directly explained his intentions.

Zhang Jin didn't want to waste any more time, so he got straight to the point with Pei Lianfu.

Pei Lianfu said, "Today I heard from my emperor that Yan wanted to use Chen to send troops to destroy Qi, my emperor is timid, and has maintained friendly relations with Qi since he succeeded to the throne, and suddenly let him rebel against Qi and attach Yan, he couldn't make up his mind, so he sent ministers to deal with it." Since I'm here, I just want to have a good talk with Zhang Shilang. ”

Zhang Jin said with a smile, "Pei Xiang has something to say." ”

Pei Lianfu said, "I'm a straightforward person, and I'm also straight-hearted, I just want to ask, I, Chen Ruo, borrowed the Tao to Yan, what benefits did Yan give me Chen Guo?" ”

Zhang Jin said, "Qi can give Chen, Yan can also give." ”

Pei Lianfu said, "Qi State did not give Chen any substantial benefits, on the contrary, Chen State paid all kinds of money and grain to Qi State every year. ”

When Zhang Jin heard this, he was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, what Pei Xiang said was strange.

When ordinary people hear such an inquiry, they will definitely open their mouths and say how Qi Guo is good to Chen Guo, so if Yan Guo wants to pull Chen Guo out of Qi Guo's team, correspondingly, he has to pay more benefits than Qi Guo.

But, this Pei Lianfu ......

Zhang Jin raised his head and looked at Pei Lianfu with deep thoughts.

Pei Lianfu is still expressionless, whether he is in the Chen Palace or sitting in front of Zhang Jin, his expression is unchanged.

It seems that the prime minister of Chen Guo, no matter what he faces, his face will not change.

Zhang Jin was frightened and thought to himself, this Prime Minister Chen Guo is really not a simple character.

Zhang Jin said, "Since Qi Guo is oppressing you Chen Guo like this, why do you Chen Guo still have to keep righteousness for him?" ”

Pei Lianfu said, "Although the country of Chen is small, it is a state of loyal servants, and once it is loyal to a certain powerful country, it will be loyal to the end." Although the State of Qi did not give Chen any substantial benefits, in recent years, because of its friendship with the State of Qi, the pro-Qin Wei State has also become a friendly neighbor. And Chen Guo is caught in the Qi guard, if it weren't for the protection of Qi State, it would have been devoured long ago, for my Chen State, Qi State is the guardian saint, and you Yan State, far away in the eastern continent, the so-called whip is beyond reach, far from the water can not dissolve the near fire, if Chen Guo and Qi State tear their faces, and your Yan State's reinforcements have not arrived, wouldn't my Chen State become the meat in the mouth of the tiger wolf? ”

Zhang Jin's brows furrowed slightly, he couldn't understand what this Pei Xiang was trying to do.

Zhang Jin didn't answer, only lowered his head and thought about Pei Lianfu's intentions.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at Pei Lianfu, "Pei Xiang doesn't believe that my Yan Kingdom can defeat Qi?" ”

Pei Lianfu said, "Before you conquer it, you can't exchange the benefits after it." ”

Zhang Jin smiled slightly, and he said, "Pei Xiang is really a very real person. ”

Pei Lianfu said, "As the prime minister of a country, you have to seek tangible interests for the country. Let's talk about it, in the face of a series of crises caused by the break between the Chen State and the Qi State, does the prince of your country have any words about how to deal with it? ”

Zhang Jin paused, thinking to himself, the prince didn't say anything.

But Wenchen is outside, and he still has to make up his mind when he should make up his mind.

Zhang Jin asked, "What should Pei Xiang do?" ”

Pei Lianfu looked up at him, "Can Zhang Shilang call the shots?" Be the master of your Yan Kingdom? ”

As soon as this sentence was asked, Zhang Jin narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Of course, he can't be the master of Yan Kingdom.

Except for the emperor and the crown prince, who dares to say that he can be the lord of the Yan Kingdom?

Zhang Jin said, "I can't." ”

Pei Lianfu hummed lightly and stood up to leave.

Zhang Jin then stood up and said, "I can't." In addition to the emperor and the crown prince, no one else dares to be the master, but not being able to call the shots does not mean that you can't talk about it. ”

Pei Lianfu said, "I'll talk about it today, Zhang Shilang don't enter the palace, my emperor has not been in good health these days, and you will make him even more unhappy if you go." ”

Zhang Jin, "......"

After Pei Lianfu left, Zhang Jin first wrote a letter to Nanqiu Han, and then wrote a letter to ask Yi Qi to send it to Yan Chi, telling him about Pei Lianfu's conversation with him today.

Nanqiu Han got the letter, and after reading it, he still pretended not to know anything.

Yan Chi got the letter, read it, and smiled.

He handed the letter to Yan Xingzhou.

Yan Xingzhou showed it to Duan Dongli after reading it.

Yan Xingzhou said, "The most difficult thing for Chen Guo is this Prime Minister Pei. ”

Yan Chi said, "Pei Xiang wants it, probably our Yan Kingdom can't afford it." ”

Duan Dongli asked, "What does he want?" ”

Yan Chi glanced at him, moved his body and said, "Chen Guo is sandwiched between Qi Wei, Qi is one of the three great powers, Chen Guo wants to survive, naturally he has to be attached to Qi, and Wei is pro-Qin, in disguise, Chen Guo is sandwiched between the two great powers, Qi and Qin. And Qi and Qin are friendly again, the only way out for Chen Guo is to be pro-Qi or pro-Qin, Qin and Chen are separated by a guard, Chen Guo can't climb Qin, so he has friends with Qi Pan. They have been paying tribute to the Qi State for so many years, isn't it just to survive? And such a survival method is probably not what Chen Guo wants, but he has to do it. Chen Guo's economic conditions have always been very poor because of the annual tribute. The economy is poor, and he can't afford to raise strong soldiers, so Chen Guo has always been very weak. Over the years, the economic strength of the other eight countries has been rising, but Chen has not been able to move forward, and that is not because of their kings or ministers or people, but because of Qi. On the one hand, Chen Guo was blessed by Qi State, and on the other hand, Chen State was oppressed by Qi State and could not get up. This is the old saying, 'success is also Xiao He', and defeat is also Xiao He'. Qi Guo is a tumor that Chen Guo wants to throw away but can't throw away, and now, with Yan Guo stretching out a knife to cut it, Pei Xiang will not refuse it. But he also said that far water can't save near fire, and boots can't be long, so his requirements are very simple, self-improvement. ”

Duan Dongli listened vaguely, "He wants to improve himself, what does it have to do with my Yan Kingdom?" Why would the prince say that Pei Xiang wants something that my Yan Kingdom can't afford? ”

Yan Chi said, "The word self-improvement is very easy to say, but it is difficult to do." For a country, if you want to be strong, you have to get rich first, so what Pei Xiang wants is money. ”

Duan Dongli blinked, "It's easy to ask for money." ”

Yan Xingzhou sneered at him, "I'm stupid, I'll give him money if he wants it?" Why should I give it to him? The treasury of the Yan State is used to support the soldiers and people of the Yan State, not to support foreign enemies. ”

Duan Dongli said, "Once Chen Guo takes refuge in Yan, he will not be a foreign enemy. ”

Yan Xingzhou snorted lightly, "Hmph, didn't Pei Lianfu say that before he conquered it, he couldn't exchange the benefits after the overcome." He is talking about him Chen Guo, why not my Yan Guo? His meaning is very simple, that is, he wants him Chen Guo to nod and agree to borrow, and Yan Guo has to give the money first. They will borrow the Tao only if they are given money, and if they borrow the Dao, how to send troops remains to be said. ”

Duan Dongli said, "I gave him money, shouldn't he help him to the end?" ”

Yan Xingzhou said, "If it's just money, why does he only talk to Zhang Jin for half of it?" ”

Duan Dongli thought for a moment and said, "Is he planning to take a pit step by step?" ”

Yan Xingzhou said, "That's right. ”

He put the wolf on the table, leaned into the dragon chair behind him, and said, "Chen Guo has been pressed for too long, once someone wants to pull them out of the quagmire, they will jump out without hesitation, but if Chen Guo has only one emperor, it will be easy to settle, but Chen Guo has one more Pei Lianfu, it is not easy to settle." Pei Lianfu knew very well that if he didn't get quite affordable benefits before my Yan country's soldiers Chen Jing, then in the future, it would be difficult for him to talk to Yan Guo again. A weak country will never be qualified to negotiate with a strong country. In that way, he Chen Guo only jumped out of the quagmire of Qi State and fell into the quagmire of Yan State, and he would never come out. Therefore, Pei Lianfu seized this opportunity to get his country out of the quagmire and stand among the nine countries. ”

Duan Dongli said, "This Pei Xiangxin is really big. ”

Yan Xingzhou smiled, "But such a person is really admirable." ”

Duan Dongli said, "He is so open-mouthed, isn't he afraid that my Yan Kingdom will directly send troops to destroy him Chen State?" ”

Yan Xingzhou said, "Of course he is not afraid, he dares to open his mouth because he knows that Yan Guo does not dare to send troops, not that Yan Guo is afraid of him Chen Guo, but once Yan Guo sends troops to fight Chen State first, then Qi State and Qin State will hear the wind and use the reason of defending Chen State to unite Wei Guo and Zhou State and destroy Yan." In this way, Qi, Chen, Wei, Qin, plus the pro-Qin Zhou, there are five countries to attack Yan, although Yan is strong, it can't withstand the pressure of the five armies, and moreover, Zhao and my Yan also have a vendetta, although the princess of Zhao is in my Yan country, Zhao Xian does not dare to act rashly, but there is no guarantee that Zhao Xian will not encourage the pro-Zhao South Korea to be the straw that crushes the Yan country. ”

Duan Dongli was shocked when he heard this.

Yan Chi playfully fiddled with the bright yellow wrench on his thumb, and said lukewarmly, "This Pei Xiang is very proficient in the art of the emperor, and he is also well versed in negotiation. Half of what he said was testing our sincerity. ”

He turned his head to look at Yan Xingzhou, "What is Dad going to do?" ”

Yan Xingzhou touched his chin and shook his head bitterly, "Dad won't give him money." ”

Yan Chi said, "If you don't give money, he won't nod." ”

Yan Xingzhou said angrily, "Is my Yan country's money blown by the wind?" It was all handed over by the common people, and they handed over the money to the treasury, not for me to take it out and give it to other countries. ”

Yan Chi said, "That's the case, so what's the matter?" Qi Wen has already packed his bags and is coming to my Yan Kingdom, if he comes and picks up Zhuge Tianyan and Luo Liang, Chen Guo has not nodded yet, this matter will not be easy to do. ”

Yan Xingzhou frowned, "Rong Zhen think about it, after you go back, you will also think of a way to do both, and call all the literati in your prince's mansion to find a way." ”

said to Duan Dongli again, "You also go down and think about it, it's best to go to Pingfu and ask what Prime Minister Ping means." ”

Yan Chi and Duan Dongli responded, and they both went down and figured out a way.

Yan Chi returned to the house and first went to the Crown Princess's Courtyard to see Zhao Huaiyan.

Since Zhao Huaiyan took the sword book and the sword book from Loujing Pavilion, he came back and watched it without sleep or food, practicing martial arts with Mama Fang and Mama Shen as usual during the day, and studying the sword book and sword book at night.

As Lou Jiang said, Zhao Huaiyan's comprehension of the sword spectrum is much faster than the comprehension of the sword spectrum.

At the beginning, Zhao Huaiyan first read the sword spectrum.

But after watching the practice, she always didn't know the essentials, if it weren't for Mama Fang and Mama Shen who kept correcting beside her, she would probably go mad.

The bumps and bumps of sword practice are bumpy and bumpy, but fortunately, you can also learn some.

The interest in practicing was completely gone, so Zhao Huaiyan took the knife book to look at it.

Originally, Zhao Huaiyan was reading the yellowed kraft book in the Loujing Pavilion, but she didn't understand it at all, but when she was lying in the soft chair under the ginkgo tree in the yard and stretched out her hand to gestur, she miraculously felt a little self-taught.

She was puzzled, but then she gradually got started, and then the words and patterns that she couldn't understand were clearly displayed in her mind at once, and she was overjoyed and practiced day and night with the knife book.

When Yan was late, Zhao Huaiyan had just finished practicing and was resting in a soft chair.

Mama Fang was stroking the piano on the side.

Mama Shen waited for tea on the side.

Yan Chi walked into the courtyard, and when the two grandmothers saw him, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

When she saluted, Zhao Huaiyan woke up, she tilted her forehead and looked at Yan Chi.

Yan Chi smiled and sat down on the corner of the soft chair where she was lying, lowered her head and asked, "Didn't you practice sword or sword score today?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "I've practiced." ”

Yan Chi asked, "How is the practice?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "It's okay." ”

Yan Chi reached out and stroked her hair.

Zhao Huaiyan glared at him.

As soon as Mama Fang and Mama Shen saw that this pair of little masters was about to start "flirting" again, the two of them quietly retreated with great eyes, leaving unlimited space for them.

There is no one who is a light bulb, Yan Chi reached out and hugged Zhao Huaiyan, lying in the position where she was just lying.

Zhao Huaiyan struggled.

Yan Chi sighed, "Hold it for a while, I have a headache." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "What do you care about me with a headache?" Don't hug and hug at every turn, what a system! ”

Yan Chi chuckled, buried his head in her neck, and kissed all the way up along her snow-white neck route, Zhao Huaiyan struggled several times, but failed to break free, and finally was pressed by the man in the soft chair and kissed enough.

From the neck to the chin to the lips.

At first, Zhao Huaiyan didn't know how to kiss.

Yan Chi didn't understand.

But during this period of getting along, Yan Chi kissed at every turn, and after many times, he slowly mastered the essentials.

Zhao Huaiyan struggled at the beginning, but later his body became weak.

Although the heart did not surrender, the body could not stop the bewitchment of this man, and it ran counter to the heart.

Yan Chi's heart was like a mirror, and as soon as his lips left, he laughed.

Zhao Huaiyan glared at him viciously, wiping his mouth vigorously with his sleeve.

Yan Chi watched her movements, didn't get angry, didn't stop it, wiped off his breath, wiped off his imperative to her?

Yan Chi reached out and patted her on the head, the kiss was finished, and she was in a happy mood.

He got out of the soft chair, sat down in the same position where Mama Fang was sitting just now, and stretched out his hand to stroke the piano.

Zhao Huaiyan stood up angrily and left.

Yan Chi called out to her, "Sit, I'll play a tune for you to dissipate your anger." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "I'm not in the mood to listen." ”

Yan Chi said, "I'm in the mood when I hear it, come, sit next to me." ”

Zhao Huaiyan crossed his arms and looked at him, "Don't listen." ”

Yan Chi, "......"

Zhao Huaiyan turned around and left.

Yan Chi was speechless, watching her slender skirt brush over the steps, across the threshold, and disappear from view, he scolded sullenly, "What's wrong with sitting with this palace for a while?" ”

She didn't listen, but he insisted on playing.

Even if Zhao Huaiyan was not there, Yan Chi still played the tune.

It's not a famous song.

It's a common song in song and dance.

The name is "Qingping Le".

This tune, with its gentle tune, is perfect for solitude and when you're in a troubled mood.

The sound of the piano was faint, accompanied by a gentle breeze, blowing in the courtyard.

Zhao Huaiyan entered the bedroom, tilted on the bed, took out the knife and began to practice again.

She didn't use a knife when she practiced, she just used her hands.

He uses his hands as a weapon, but he also uses them freely.

Mama Fang walked in, handed her a plate of fruit, and a cup of tea, and then asked, "Why did the princess come in?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced up at her and said, "It's windy outside." ”

Mama Fang said, "It's not windy yet." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "The sun is also big, I don't want to bask in the sun." ”

Mama Fang thought to herself, the weather is good today, but you are lying under the leafy ginkgo tree, where can you get the sun? Is it a conflict with the prince again?

Mama Fang is really worried, this little couple, when they meet, their noses are not noses, and their faces are not faces?

She couldn't open the gap here with Zhao Huaiyan, so she had to retreat and go to Yan Chi.

Zhao Huaiyan didn't have the heart to read at all after Mama Fang left.

She put down her book, took her teacup and walked to the window facing the courtyard.

Looking over from the window, I saw Yan Chi sitting in front of the piano, dressed in a black robe covering the ground, with a graceful momentum, his head hanging slightly, and his slender hands were like elves on the strings, leaping, beating, and then triggering a string of pleasant piano sounds.

I have to say that although he seems to play it easily, he plays it brilliantly.

Come to think of it, the prince of Yan is still a master of piano.

But unfortunately, Zhao Huaiyan can't play the piano.

Although her dancing posture is a must, but for the piano, probably born blind, there were many piano masters in the palace of Zhao Guo to teach her to practice the piano, and she also put a lot of effort into it, but it is ......

Hey, Zhao Huaiyan took a sip of tea, and looked at the man sitting cross-legged under the big ginkgo tree with envy and hatred, a little chic because of the free and easy piano sound.

Probably aware that she was peeking at the window, the corners of Yan Chi's mouth were slightly hooked, and suddenly his hand was put on the piano, and the five fingers were plucked from left to right, which was astonishing quickly, and almost in the blink of an eye, a mellow piano sound rushed towards Zhao Huaiyan like a waterfall.

Obviously, this is impossible.

Obviously, Zhao Huaiyan stood far away.

Obviously, the piano is ethereal and cannot be transformed into a physical thing.

But that is, Zhao Huaiyan was hit by a spring head-on.

The cup in her hand was not steady, and with a "snap", it fell to the ground and shattered into several petals.

Although she tried her best to dodge, the tea still spilled on her skirt.

Zhao Huaiyan lowered his head and scolded, "Bastard." ”

As soon as the two words were finished, a low laugh sounded in his ears, "If you don't listen to it, you have to be sneaky." ”

Zhao Huaiyan raised his head and was about to scold, "Who was sneaky?" I was standing by my window, and it was just the light. ”

But before the words could be spoken, his arm was pulled, and then the whole person rose from the ground.

She exclaimed, "Ah! ”

Yan Chi grabbed her hand and carried her out of the window.

Fortunately, the window is big enough, otherwise, Zhao Huaiyan would have to be a meatloaf.

After being carried out of the window in a thrilling way, Zhao Huaiyan raised his fist and smashed it down towards Yan Chi.

Yan Chi was helpless and carried her to the soft chair under the ginkgo tree, and he looked at her.

Zhao Huaiyan accused while hammering, "Let you scare me every day, let you scare me every day, and beat you to death." ”

Yan Chi laughed.

Mama Fang and Mama Shen immediately rushed over after hearing Zhao Huaiyan's exclamation, but seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them quickly retreated.

Yan Chi placed Zhao Huaiyan in place, and he retreated behind the piano again.

Zhao Huaiyan turned over and faced the big tree, silently resisting.

Yan Chi asked, "What song do you like to listen to, I'll play it for you." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was silent.

Yan Chi said, "Or, I'll play the piano and you dance?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan still shouldn't.

Yan Chi said, "I'm talking to you well, don't let me wait and be rough again." ”

Zhao Huaiyan turned his head and glared at him, "I don't want to listen, and I don't want to jump." ”

Yan Chi said, "You don't want to listen, I want to play, you don't want to jump, I want to watch, then you say, should you or me?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan snorted, "A gentleman wouldn't ask such a thing." ”

Yan Chi chuckled, "It's okay to pretend to be a gentleman on weekdays, but you don't have to pretend to be you." Besides, what kind of gentleman are you talking about with me? I don't mind if you're a gentle lady or not, and you don't mind if I'm a gentleman. ”

Zhao Huaiyan snorted coldly, "But I'm not happy." ”

Yan Chi asked, "What's upset?" I didn't force you. You said that you didn't want to listen to the piano, and I let you into the house, but you listened to it again, which means that you are duplicitous, so I didn't force you to bring you here. And although I really want to see you dance, I just ask, I don't force you. You read the sword book and the sword book every day, it is inevitable that you will have some headaches and brain swelling, listen to the piano, dance a dance, can relieve fatigue, I am for your good. ”

Zhao Huaiyan lifted her long skirt, stepped off the soft chair, and sat opposite him, that is, on the other side of the qin.

Yan Chi, "......"

He asked, "Why?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Listen to the piano." ”

Yan Chi said, "It's more comfortable for you to lie down and listen." ”

Zhao Huaiyan ignored it and only asked, "What tune do you want to play for me?" ”

Yan Chi asked, "What song do you want to hear?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Let's talk about a love song." ”
